Add Klir Filter

The Patent Pending Klir Fleece Filter fits directly into most filter sock chambers that automatically unroll new material as it gets clogged, removing suspended particles from your aquarium and producing crystal clear water. Enjoy maintenance-free aquarium filtration for months at a time.

Here is what you’ll need to get started:

• Klir Unit
• Additional HYDROS Water Sensor.
  
  TIP: Please follow these instructions if you have not configured your water sensor input.
  WARNING: You CAN NOT use the native Klir water sensor to add the Klir to your HYDROS Control.
• The Klir Motor can be connected to an empty/unused HYDROS Control Drive Port unit with the HYDROS Klir Drive Port Adapter cable (sold separately).

Step 1: Create the Klir Output

1. From the STATUS screen on your HYDROS app, top on the three horizontal dots to the right of the OUTPUTS label and select “Add / Edit Output.”
2. Tap on the “+” symbol at the bottom right of the page.
3. Type in the name of your new output and then tap “Create.”

Step 2: Configure your Klir Filter

• Family: Klir
• Level Input: Here, you select the Water Sensor input. If you created a Klir Water Sensor input, it would be listed here.
  
  TIP: To see a list of all inputs available on MULTIPLE devices, you must first create a Collective. Otherwise, only inputs on the same device will show.
• Output Device: Here, you select the location of your Klir Motor
  • Power Safe Range: You can specify an “acceptable” power use range. If power consumption is outside the range, a notification will trigger if selected.
    
    WARNING: This option is unavailable if the “Output Device” is assigned to a device that does not support power monitoring on its outlets.
  • Power Notification Level: You can select the notification level that triggers if the power consumption falls outside the “Power Safe Range.”
  • If Input / Dependency Unavailable: This option allows you to specify what the controller will do if an input it uses becomes unavailable.
  • Enable Advanced Settings: If you are an expert, you can customize the default output settings to suit your system better.
    
    • If Input Unavailable: This allows you to specify how the outlet should act if the sensor is not found or is missing.
    • Minimum OFF Time: Allows you to specify what is the minimum time the outlet should be OFF
    • Maximum OFF Time: Allows you to specify what is the maximum time the outlet should be OFF
    • Minimum ON Time: Allows you to specify what is the minimum time the outlet should be ON
    • Maximum ON Time: Allows you to specify what is the maximum time the outlet should be ON
    • Run Past Max ON time: This allows you to specify if you want the outlet to remain ON even if the “Max ON Time” has been exceeded.
    • Notification Level: Allows you to specify the level of notification you want when any of the advanced settings have been exceeded
      
      TIP: You will get notifications when one or more advanced settings have been exceeded.  If you set the Notification Level to NONE, then the particular outlet you configured will not send you any notifications.
• Active Modes: This allows you to choose which mode this output will be operational in and which mode should turn OFF.
• Depends On: This feature allows you to turn the output based on the status of another output. To enable this, select it from the list of available outputs.  
  • Dependency Mode: You can turn the output ON or OFF based on the other output.
    • OFF if OFF: Will turn the current output OFF if the output it depends on is OFF.
    • OFF if ON: Will turn the current output OFF when the output it depends on is ON.
    • ON if OFF: Will turn the current output ON when the output it depends on is OFF.
    • ON if ON: Will turn the current output ON when the output it depends on is ON
      
      EXAMPLE: One important dependency to consider is your Return Pump. If your Return Pump shuts off, the water level in your sump will rise, potentially causing the Klir sensor to activate the motor. In this scenario, you should configure the Klir to “depend” on the Return Pump. The Klir should also be turned off if the Return Pump is off.

• Is Invisible: If you choose to hide the input from the status screen, it will only become visible on pages that have “Show Invisible” selected.

Step 3: Save

• After configuring the output, tap the yellow bar at the bottom to upload your changes to the cloud and each HYDROS device.
